Suspension help... having problems.
after Mr. Harris (aka Harris 
) brought to my attention that my rear suspension is sitting lower then it should, i measured it and i realized that my rear left is sitting lower then my rear right. I took a ruler to it and found out that the left rear is sitting a few tenths of an inch lower then the right 
.. WTF. ok no big deal i thought..
so I went and grabbed my work out weights, got 4 50lb plates and 4 25lb plates totaling upto 300lbs = 2 avg. sized people, put 'em in the trunk. Then took the car for a spin.. first bump cleared with no problems... 2nd bump i hear a Big clunk noise coming from the rear left suspension, and then another dip in the road and that same noice happened.. seeming to get louder.. only happens when the suspension moves up and down. Then i had a friend sit in the rear seat and he noticed that there is rattling coming from the suspension as well.
now.. anybody with H&R Cup Kits, does yours do this with this much weight.. WTF is wrong?
can the shop mess up the install? how hard is it mess up an install?
thanks for your help in advance.
really really annoyed and pissed right now.. it's like i am jinxed with this car.
